Planting Time

The growing season, is nearly here, gardens will be planted, for food throughout the year. Tomatoes, and onions, okra, and squash, peas, and eggplant, oh my gosh. Fresh plowed ground, waiting on the seeds, don't have to worry, about falling leaves. Good Friday is the day, my family can't wait, to get the seeds in the ground, we are never late. Warmer temperatures, means the faster they grow, light rain falling, then a plant starts to show. More than ever, fresh food is best, I am ready for the exercise, been getting plenty of rest.

I love fresh vegetables. I may try my hand at it in my new home. Great write. Thank you for commenting on In a Split Second..Just reminsencing about the night they ran away. It has been a year now. One is home and the baby boy is still gone. A mother just can't stop worrying. Keep me in your prayers..
